ASG's Enterprise Automation Management Suite Adapters

Seamless Integration to Application and Infrastructure Performance Tools and Data

ASG offers a comprehensive set of technologies and services that connect IT asset sources and data sources to its BSM solution. By integrating third-party and customized systems management tools, ASG provides your enterprise with a single point of truth. ASG's MetaCMDB helps create effective and pervasive enterprise architectures by parsing data from a variety of ODBC and SNMP sources and storing them.

ASG's EAMS Universal Adapter provides both discovery and monitoring functions, bringing data from a database (or SNMP input source) via a plug-and-play structure. Notably, ASG's EAMS Universal Adapter measures performance, availability, and the overall response time between applications and the user.

ASG's EAMS Universal Adapter enables IT to provide timely, accurate, and meaningful information on business services. It is also ASG's primary vehicle to seamlessly integrate critical performance and availability data, however in some customer situations custom development will be required.

ASG also has the unique ability to leverage integration work from the development of over 100 analysis adapters; all from ASG's market-leading Metadata repositories.

The adapters are broken into the following categories:

Discovery Adapters

  • Application Dependency Mapping (ADM)

Monitoring Adapters to track availability and state of configuration items (CIs):

  • Application Monitoring Adapters for SAP®, Oracle®, PeopleSoft®, Siebel®, and leading Integrated Voice Response (IVR) packages

  • Network Monitoring Adapters (including HP® OpenView™)

  • Systems Management Adapters

  • Help Desk Adapters

  • Server Monitoring

  • Custom Application Adapters can be built in minimal time with Professional Services

Analysis Adapters support deep dependency analysis and include:

  • Business Process Modeling Adapters (ARIS™, BPwin™, COOL:Biz™, etc.)

  • Business Intelligence Adapters (Business Objects™, Cognos™, etc.)

  • Database Adapters (Oracle®, DB2™, SQL, etc.)

  • Operating System and Programming Adapters (Java™, Microsoft® .NET, Web Services, ASP, C#, COBOL, etc.)
